Personal Assessment

Read through the slides and watch the video. You will need to apply this information to the next assignment, so take notes. Do Not click the "play" button. Instead, use the arrow buttons at the bottom of the slide to advance to the next slide.

Your first writing assignment will be a personal assessment. This is just a brainstorm and will be edited in later classes, but it gives your teacher a chance to get to know you a little better and find out what you are interested in and why.

Keep in mind the Grammar Checksheet. Make sure to proofread your assignment before turning it in. This will mean less work for you later!
